'22 Lariat 3.5 ext. cab, long bed, Max Tow package.
The other day I towed a 2 place ATV trailer with a 4' mesh swing up ramp with 1 ATV, total weight roughly 1500lbs. 65mph for the most part.
Driving the same route empty I get about 20.5 to 21.5 ish MPG...towing this small trailer dropped my MPG to 14.6mpg on the same route. I know towing a trailer will drop the MPG but 6-7 mpg for such a small trailer seems extreme.
For reference towing my flatbed car trailer with 2 ATV's and 2 weeks of hunting gear(4k+lbs total) my OLd Scout with a V-8 looses 2 mpg.
I'm a bit worried about what MPG I will get towing a toyhauler camper....
So how much (MPG or %) are you guys loosing when towing?
